T-255 (cn 46987/255) There is still a lot to do (new cockpit, interior fitting etc) before this aircraft will join the active Royal Netherlands Air Force fleet. But after spending so much time on the ground it is really nice to finally see this bird in the air every now and then. The aircraft is photographed just after a touch and go at its home base.
